fuse error

[ricardouk]

hi everyone.

i tried several times to creat divx media files(bexause of the subtitle support on divx certified players) using fuse but i always get the same error.



irony is that i successufully managed to mux it but using srt2bmp, but this program uses the fuse tool the same one that gives the error avove.

am i doing something wrong?

thanks

Looks like your video file simply doesn't fall within DXN HT VBV values. You would need to re-encode with the Home Theatre profile enabled or maybe there is a setting to relax the checking?

[mgh]

Use the latest fuse from divx.com-it will mux even if files are non-compliant
I had same problems with earlier version of fuse.
Play the .divx created in DivX Fusion player-right click-file information-it will tell you if the file is compliant.

the video was incoded using dr divx using the home theatre profile

im not an expert on this things,but just hear me out: the video was encode with dr divx so it should be compliant, but what bewilders me is that i downloaded srt2bmp and i had to copy the same fuse that gives that error to the srt2bmp folder and using fuse in that program it did managed to creat a divx media file.( theres an option on that program that enables the muxing) this intrigues me

one last question people.
does the fuse tool on its own "transforme" srt subs into xsub subs, or it just mixes the srt sub with the avi and create a divx media file.

thanks

i will explain what i did

i purchased the 3rd season of stargate on dvd, and i wanted to backup the 24 episodes on to avi(divx) and keep the dvds in a safe place.

as i know that some divx/dvd players dont recgonize srt subs so well i looked for a tool that allowed me solve this problem and then i encountered the fuse tool(allows the muxing of an avi and srt subs) but unfortunally it didnt work!

so l investigated and found srt2bmp that allowed mw to transform srt in to xsub(recognized in every single divx certified player,unlike srt) and mux the avi with xsub and creat a divx media file playable in a divx certified unit and it worked even though srt2bmp uses the same fuse tool on its core.

downloaded the new version of fuse and.....




i went in to the folder where the xsub was and the xsub size was 0 bytes

anyone?

[mgh]

By trial and error, i found that if there is a subtitle at the very end, there is a problem.
I was able to overcome the probblem by dropping last subtitle in one case.
Fuse creates xsub from srt before muxing. It also accepts xvid!

[celtic_druid]

Still, I think I will just stick with srt subs for my XviD avi's.

Hi MGH!

i dont understand what you mean with"if there is a subtitle at the very end, there is a problem"and "dropping the last subtitle in one case"?

sorry my english ain't that good!

celtic_druid you said you would rather stick with your srt subs, if xsub are recognized in any divx certified player doesnt it mean there are more advantages by using them?

i read that a lot of players need firmware updates to read srt subs and sometimes you cant control the position of their playback on screen.

with xsub that problem can be overcomed if we use srt2bmp that allow us toi pic the position of the subtitles on screen.

Im not saying that you're wrong, i might be wrong as well just looking for a good discussion,

thanks

I don't care about all DivX certified players. Just my player.

My player does upto 3 lines of subs. Shifting vertical position accordingly. Decent size, not too small, not too large. White with a black outline.

You are right though, it wasn't always that way. Used to be I think 2 lines with a lower character limit. Plus the font was harder to read and the position was higher.

Like I said though, as long as it works fine on my player I am happy.

Another thing; my player isn't DivX certified. Not tried xsubs though. They probably still work.

Hi

when i go on about divx certified players what i really mean is " future compatabiliti"

i think that at the moment people that use subtitles should consider xsub instead of srt because of the sheer amount of players that perfectly reproduce them(thats when the divx bable comes in) every single one reproduces them and no need for firmware updates.

theres so many post here and at doom9 about srt subs not being reproduced correctly, with xsub you dont have that problem.

your player plays srt fine, you're lucky!(think 3 lines are too much tough)

couple months ago i backed up "van helsing" to avi and extracted the subs with sub rip to srt, recorded it on to cd avi+srt and went to a friend's house, his philips 720 didnt play the srt (well it sort of did but it was a completely diferent language(martian i think))

2nd mates house, his yamada didnt play them as well.

went home searched online decided to use xsub and voilá its sorted now.
all of them play them now(properly)

you're lucky with your player.

If there are subtitles in the last five seconds or so of the clip-it doesn't encode.
You delete those from your srt file, fuse will work.

thanks mgh

i will try that later on today

thanks

Just found this topic and did not try anything yet. But I want to be clarified (1) if the avi and xsub should be muxed or just placed together and (2) how srt be converted to xsub with pre-defined font face, size and codepage and (3) the avi must be in divx or could be xvid

Anyone help me pls?

(My player can display divx/xvid + srt. But the font is too small and it fails to display proplerly languages other than English)

[ricardouk]

use srt2bmp it will transform your srt to xsub and mux it with the avi
you need to have fuse in the srt2bmp folder
